Details: Old residents of the Upper Hunter will remember the fatal accident in a Queensland drafting yard that bereft Mr. and Mrs. Keys of their eldest son, to whose return they were just looking with fondest expectancy; of the still more tragic shooting accident which hurried their second son into eternity ; then-after an interval-the early death of their eldest daughter, who was for a short time the wife of Dr. Robert James Pierce,, but who all to soon, after a short illness left him a widower with one little child, a son, who has ever since been the care of his grandmother, Mrs. Keys, of Bengalla. It is not long since old Mr. Keys himself died, and a few months happened at short intervals two fatal buggy accidents, which caused the deaths of Miss Bessie Hudson Keys, and Mr. FitzGerald (a relative of the family), the latter gentleman being killed in the streets of Muswellbrook. And now follows another blow in the unexpected death of Dr. Pierce. His son and the whole Kaye family have the sympathy of the whole of the Northern districts in their latest and all too sudden bereavement

Details: DR. ROBERT JAMES PIERCE, J.P., Physician and Surgeon, was born in Dublin in 1841, and there educated. He studied medicine and surgery in his native city, taking his degree at the Royal College of Surgeons, Ireland. In 1864 he arrived in Melbourne as surgeon of the Tornado, soon afterwards visiting Newcastle, where he succeeded Dr. Knaggs as coroner and returning officer, and for five years practised his profession. He then removed to Muswellbrook and was appointed Government medical officer and surgeon to the hospital. About fifteen years ago he came to Maitland and has ever since resided there in active practice. Four years ago he was elected alderman, and in 1886 chosen mayor of West Maitland. He was visiting surgeon of the hospital for ten years, and for the last five has held the position of consulting physician. He contested the Morpeth electorate in 1883 and was only defeated by Sir Robert Wisdom by 127 votes. Dr. Pierce holds the degrees of physician, surgeon, and licentiate of midwifery. He took a prominent part in the formation of the Maitland Light Horse, which now numbers seventy members. He was married at Muswellbrook to the daughter of Mr. J. H. Keys of Bengalla. Dr. Pierce was appointed to the commission of the peace about eighteen years ago
